Message left from this number - some background noise, but no message.

A fellow named Vic called from this number and claimed to have left a message yesterday, to which I called him out on it since I do not own an answering machine nor could my fish have taken a phone message since I haven't taught him that trick yet.

This f'n number keeps calling my pay-per-use cell phone and it's nothing but a pitch about a credit card.  Each time the option to remove yet they continue to call, costing me money.  The only solution I can think of is to cancel all my phones.

Several weeks ago I was phoned to tell me I had won 1 of 5 prizes for a draw I entered in December at the local mall (but I did not even live in the province in December so I know that is not where they got my number) The President of the company, James Robinson, could barely speak English but heard my skepticizm. He gave me a phone number to call back if I changed my mind (718) 673-6170, this is a number in New York (Bronx, Queens, area). It is likely some timeshare company wanting you to hear their pitch.

I have been receiving many calls a day with no one at the other end. Yesterday there were at least 5 calls. Today there have already been 5 calls. So I stopped answering the phone when the numbers (416) 360-1176 or (416) 360-4084) appeared in my display. Then they tried a new number (416) 350-5218.

I think the 2 situations are related. The constant calls are driving me nuts!

When I called Bell to complain they suggested I register for the new national Do Not Call List for telemarketers. You can register on Sept 30, 2008 at www.crtc.gc.ca. Telemarketers who call you can be fined. There is also another do not call list at www.the-cma.org but the list is only followed by members of the Canadian Marketing Association.

Hope this works and hope helps someone else. Good Luck

Called again at 09:30 today

There are 2 numbers:
(416) 360-4084
(416) 360-1176
Both numbers are lane lines registered with Bell Canada. It looks that are outgoing lines only, so you can't call back or figure out who owns the number. I am going to try and complain to Bell and see if I can have them investigate this. My cell is a Bell line. They may be giving out cell numbers to telemarketeres which is a violation of privacy. Anyway, any other info I get I'll be glad to post. Can anyone else who ses this let me know if you are registered with Bell as well and if you are being called by either of these numbers on your Bell cell phone.
